Chapter 2 Yanjiang Shopping Mall
On both sides of the alleys between buildings, there are all kinds of snack and fast food restaurants, with tables, chairs and benches placed at the door, making the already narrow passage even narrower. It is difficult for motorcycles to drive in, let alone cars.
The cement and brick floors laid decades ago have broken down for various reasons. Nearby shops simply dump kitchen waste in front of the door, filling up the gaps. The hot and humid weather causes the odor to ferment, attracting mosquitoes.
People come and go in the alley, and everyone is in a hurry, unwilling to stop for a moment, for fear that the lingering sourness and stench will stick to them.
This is where Chiyou has been living.
Looking at everything familiar, Chiyou couldn't help but sigh again at the benefits of the body.
The wind blowing on his face, the stench mixed in the wind, and the shouting of store horns that usually disgusted nearby residents, all of these made Chiyou feel like he was truly alive.
After finally getting a chance to live again, a normal person would definitely want to enjoy it, but Chiyou doesn't have time.
The apocalypse game was supposed to start at noon, and it was already 9:20 in the morning, only two hours and forty minutes away from the end of the world.
Chiyou must make the best preparations possible before this.
He carried a large backpack and came to the small shop in the urban village that could barely be called a supermarket.
Chiyou still had nearly two thousand yuan in his hands, and he planned to exchange it all for supplies.
In the end times, although monsters like zombies can drop loot, including food and clean water, the probability is too small. Before you can spawn monsters on a large scale, you still have to rely on normal food to survive.
In fact, if he really wanted to exchange money, even if he didn't have time to get a loan, Chiyou could go to a small shop in the urban village and sell all his cell phones and computers. It would be cheaper, but the advantage is that he could exchange money immediately.
But Chiyou was not prepared to do so.
What if the end of the world does not come?
After selling all his belongings, if the end of the world does not come, Chiyou will have trouble paying the rent for next month.
Spend all the money you have and rely on food to survive until your salary is paid, which will not affect your normal life.
Chiyou mainly bought high-calorie chocolate, canned meat with a long shelf life, bread with a large amount of preservatives added to make the shelf life as long as half a year, mineral water and several lighters.
All the food cost Chiyou a total of one thousand yuan. It's not that he was reluctant to spend more, but he couldn't carry it all in a backpack. Moreover, before he leveled up, his physical strength and power were close to that of a normal person. Carrying supplies everywhere was a great test for his physical fitness. Now these are basically the limits.
Chiyou did not waste the remaining money.
He bought a large amount of medicine at the drugstore.
Cold medicine, fever medicine, diarrhea medicine, anti-inflammatory medicine, bandages, alcohol cotton...
All these things cost more than 900 yuan.
With the remaining money, Chiyou had a fast food meal at a fast food restaurant. In the end, he had 16 dollars left, so he bought a taxi.
"Master, Yanjiang Shopping Plaza."
When the end of the world comes, the best place to start is in a place with fewer people, familiar with the terrain, with weapons and supplies in hand, slowly kill monsters, and upgrade to level 2 as soon as possible.
But the place Chiyou is going to now is the largest luxury shopping mall in Yanjiang City, where the flow of people is very dense. This is also a place Chiyou has never been to before.
The terrain is unfamiliar, the flow of people is dense, and the space is flat and wide.
This certainly violates every requirement for a good start.
Chiyou is not a fool, he has necessary reasons for doing this.
The reason why some people call the end of the world a game.
In addition to the digitization of people's attributes and the fact that zombies can drop equipment, there are many things in common with rPg games.
For example, copies, for example, treasure chests.
Leaving aside the former, treasure chests, like equipment, are divided into seven levels, from low to high:
Bronze, Silver, Gold, Dark Gold, Sub-Legend, Legend, God.
Above the seven levels, there are three main categories of treasure chests.
The first type is the treasure chest that explodes in the dungeon.
The second type spawns outside, but there is a treasure chest guarded by a powerful zombie nearby.
The last type is a welfare treasure chest, which does not require monsters to be spawned and has no zombies guarding it.
The purpose of Chiyou's trip is the last kind of treasure chest.
On the fourth floor of Yanjiang Shopping Mall, there is a sub-legendary reward treasure chest.
In his previous life, Chiyou came here one month after the end of the world and opened a growable sub-legendary weapon with no equipment requirements, a golden ring, and a skill book.
You can get a sub-legendary weapon at the beginning of the apocalypse.
It's like traveling back to ancient times with a submachine gun.
Even though there is a lot of traffic in the shopping mall along the river, it is still worth it for Chiyou to take the risk and give it a try.
After all, even if he was reborn, something might go wrong. If he went a few days later, and the treasure chest was picked up by someone else, he would have no place to cry.
The taxi soon arrived at the shopping center. Chiyou threw down fourteen yuan and bought a bottle of mineral water at the station. At this point, he had spent all the money in his pocket.
People in the square were all dressed fashionably and wearing luxury items that Chiyou could not afford even if he sold all his belongings. His dress was out of tune with this prosperous world, but no one who passed by Chiyou showed contempt or disgust.
Chiyou's temperament is really outstanding.
He struggled in the apocalypse, wandered between life and death all day long, served as a leader for a few years, and honed the temperament of a superior. In the end, because of the spirit body of those years, there was a look of maturity in his eyes that was totally inconsistent with his age.
With such temperament, coupled with Chiyou's good looks, let alone a set of clean clothes that were washed to a white color, even if he came out covered in a garbage bag, others would think he was an artist doing performance art, and at most they would be surprised, not contemptuous.
Chiyou followed the others into the building standing in the square, took the escalator and went straight to the fourth floor.
The fourth floor is also full of luxury stores. The prices are high and the products are dazzling. The layout of each store is similar. If a treasure chest is in one of the stores, it is difficult to tell which one it is.
Fortunately, Chiyou was very lucky and found the treasure chest in the bathroom.
There is only one restroom on this floor.
The good news is that the goal is clear.
The bad news is that the treasure chest spawns in the ladies' room.
Ahem, don't get me wrong.
Chiyou is certainly not the kind of pervert who would take advantage of the apocalypse when no one is watching and deliberately run to the women's restroom.
In order to avoid the zombies, he ran all the way to the fourth floor. Finally, he ran into the bathroom with no other choice but to dismantle the large exhaust fan inside and hide on the ceiling.
As a result, some monster entered the bathroom and knocked a big hole in the wall separating the men's and women's bathrooms. Only then did he see the treasure chest in the women's bathroom.
But it's not the end of the world now, and there are people coming and going around. If a grown man like him runs to the bathroom, won't he be considered a pervert?
If I get caught by the security guards or brave passers-by, and the fight gets unresolved and the end of the world comes, then everything will be over.
Chiyou could only wander around, and finally, after nearly forty minutes, he finally seized an opportunity and rushed into the unattended bathroom.
